	General:
	- Perl Foundation Funding Commences
	- Changes separated into General and Details from here one
	- Complete re-organisation of the quote-like token classes.
	  Any and all code that works with quotes will be broken.
	- Gave up on the old PPI::Query code and wrote a complete new and

	  File::Find::Rule.
	  PPI::Find uses the &wanted function (which also has a slightly
	  different API to the old one) but has the ->in style search methods.
	  It should be relatively easy for someone to write PPI::Find::Rule
	  on top of it.
